From the magazine this month:
To get you in the mood for that all-important day of romance in the middle of this month, we headed for the Aalsmeer flower auction in Amsterdam to find out where your Valentine’s blooms come from, we went to a Welsh goldmine near Bristol to pan for rare British gold and created a fantasy trip for two round Europe, taking in Rome, Venice, Paris and Madrid. And to make sure you look your sexiest on this special day, we picked out the best lingerie boutiques in Amsterdam, Rome and London and shot a quintessentially British fashion story in the stunning Berkshire countryside.
If you’re planning a romantic getaway later in the year, check out our destination guides which are updated every month by our network of correspondents across Europe.
